Bloomsbury Music, Art and Performance: The Musicalization of Art

Explore the deep connections between sound and sight in this interdisciplinary anthology from Bloomsbury. This collection examines how music functions as a central experience in art and life, tracing its influence from the late Romantic period through the birth of modernism and into the postmodern era. Starting with the role of print portraiture in the celebrity status of Franz Liszt and moving through to the feminist politics of the Riot Grrrl movement, these essays offer a wide-ranging look at how different creative disciplines meet. The text covers a broad geographic scope, moving from Western art traditions to the Middle East. By looking at the musicalization of art, this book provides a detailed study of the relations between visual, performing, and musical arts. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in how different forms of expression shape one another across history and culture.
